I used to sell batches of commons on ebay , about 400 cards for usually 9.99. That started not working, so I've mostly kept them. The lesser condition ones I've used as packing material. But including a note is a must as I had one buyer get mad that he got a boxful of worn 88 Donruss instead of 50 nice 70's cards. At least till I explained that the nice ones were in their own pack surrounded by the Donruss that were sent loose as filler.

Or sell them at the club I was a member of which brought usually a couple dollars for a shoebox full.

And after getting rid of a few thousand those ways someone sent a batch of a few hundred british cards in a priority box with a whole bunch of 1990 Score including what I think was a complete set in a binder.

BST here works pretty well as long as the price is reasonable.

So what stuff do you have for 2 for a penny? I shouldn't be buying, but I find it hard to resist a big boxful of cards.
